Once you have access to your files, go to /public_html/wp-content/themes/ or /public_html/YourDoman.com/wp-content/themes/ (for an add-on domain), select your theme, right-click on it, select Rename and rename it (e.g. ThemeName-Child-Disabled).

Renaming a WordPress theme via cPanel

If you don’t have a child theme, rename the parent theme.

After renaming your theme, WordPress will automatically switch to its latest default theme.

Hi, I'm Radu!

I'm the founder and one-man army behind all of this. Even though ThemeSkills was founded in 2014, I've been working with WordPress and SEO since 2011. I also know a bit of Photoshop and a bit more CSS and HTML. I also own WebStoked.com and Radu.link.
